Why cant we have a good /v/idya movie?
Prince of Persia wasn't bad

>Why cant we have a good /v/idya movie?
Implying angry birds the movie wasn't a redpilled masterpiece.
Angry bird was a hit movie
>>341090648
The scenes with orcs in them were good.
>>341090892
>tfw still the most popular MMO
>>341091740
Except all the ones they did lore changes in...
which are many.
>>341092073
>lore changes
It's an alternative universe. Nothing was changed in canon.
>>341090892
And so in the end, WoW was the WoW killer.
>>341092057
LoL and Rust are more popular than MMO's.
>>341092313
so, its like J.J's star trek? i.e. imaginary fanfic shit fans denounce even exists? whats the point?
>>341092953
There's already a multiverse story in WoW. See the whole plot of Warlords of Draenor.
I find it funny that /tv/ defends this movie while /v/ vehemently shits on it.
>>341093440
/tv/ is filled with retards.
>>341094317
/tv/ is the dankest place on 4chan

it was fun
if you're autistic and pretend warcraft 1 and 2 were some masterpieces just to be a contrarian oldfag hipster cunt then you'll probably hate it. Or if you just don't like the genre or franchise in general
>>341090648
I fucking hate you.
No seriously.
I bet you are that 18 yr old kid with his friends who was in the IMAX 3D Cinema Suites (no kids) relaxing in a Lazyboy chair, enjoying his meal off his daddys dime talking about the fucking game with his friends. The ''old way''.
I wanted to reach over and properly smack the shit out of your lanky no muscle having ass. I wanted to rip your fucking spine out from your god damned useless flesh but my WIFE stopped me from doing so.
You don't even go back to when the fourth expansion brought us a new high to low.
You weren't there from the beginning, you have no idea how LONG we've waited for a movie this fucking epic to come out. And yet here you are dissing it.
I swear to god if I find you I will end you. I will end your life and go to prison lamenting the fact you ever lived and making it a life's goal to come out of prison even more swoll with the vindication to find all of /vp/'s underaged or newaged fuckboys and destroy your very existence.
I will find all of you and I will uncork your skulls so I can pour me a wine glass full of your life expectancy. Good thing you've got a lot of wasted potential or I'd be left fucking thirsty.

Hi Metzen.
>>341098020
FUCK OFF
>>341097860
I DON'T WANT A GOD DAMNED YOU. FUCKING IDIOT. I WANT YOU OFF THIS FUCKING BOARD. GET THE FUCK OUT!
>>341090648
Story was shit, CGI varied greatly with the orcs looking excellent, magic looking iffy, and environments that weren't forests or the Dark Portal looking like absolute shit. Sets, props, and costumes weren't much better. All of the human characters were unlikable and uninteresting. The orcs were much better but because they had to cut back to the humans every ten minutes it made the movie feel incredibly choppy, which wasn't helped by the lousy editing and the awkward transitions.
This movie needed an opening scene with some narration explaining some basic shit. Like what Azeroth is, for example? Doesn't have to be overbearing, but the movie really seems to assume you know the basics, which isn't a very safe assumption.
On a more personal note I particularly hated the mage character and his sniveling cunt face. I also wanted to cringe every time anyone said "the fel". If you're not going to explain the term why even use it? Call it fel magic or dark magic, anything would have sounded better than "the fel".
Also what the fuck was with Durotan's wife? That one orc freed her and told Durotan she was safe, and in the next scene she was in she was conveniently found by a single orc and killed. Really weird pacing.
I like the action scenes where the effects held up, the orc characters, and the look the animals and forest environments had. That's about it.
Still not as bad as I was expecting, 6/10.
>>341098702
Sorry Metzen, did fedex not deliver your new "Thrall's 'Hammer'" dildo?
>>341091523
Sony made a 400 million deal to advertise it, and it made 280 million.
It was a flop.
>>341093440
/tv/ doesn't defend it.
The movie has been getting shilled there for months now.
>>341098985
EAT SHIT
>>341090648
I loved Warcraft. Been playing since 2006. Thought the movie was an absolute blast. Why all the hate?
>>341099689
Because it's pure garbage?
>>341090892
>tfw Lich King was the best expan and the rest was shit after
>>341099250
This.
Once the box office in China had a ridiculously big drop, shills fucked off.
Didn't even deserve to make back it's budget.
>>341099838
How about actually stating why you think it was bad?
>>341099045
>thinking box office means shit for angry birds
The whole point was marketing for the entire angry birds brand.
They're creating the next Minions
>>341100309
Horrible actors, awful CGI outside orc faces, didn't even take time to explain the world unlike LOTR, the props looked really, really bad and the cinematography was TV show tier.
>>341100309
IT JUST IS STOP QUESTIONING ME FAGGOT WOW FANBOI
>>341099689
>Been playing since 2006
I think I found your problem.
the movie completely rewrote the lore casung massive timeline fuckups.
>>341101264
the movie has zero (0) plot holes. its continuity is airtight.
>>341100649
Are you serious? You must be kidding/trolling.
The CGI was next-level beyond anything seen so far. The actors are great and made it immersive.
I agree that they didnt explain shit and it has to be fucking confusing and impossible to watch for anyone that isnt a wow lore nerd, but since I am (and everyone on /v is), why do you hate it?
I agree that everyone who doesnt know the lore wont understand the movie, but us who do love the movie.
>>341101264
lol no it didnt? What the fuck are you talking about.
>>341100003
Last game that didn't have Activision's influence.
>>341101621
The CGI outside orc faces was fucking disgusting.
>The actors are great and made it immersive.
Dude outside Dominic Cooper they were all C-listers that absolutely no one knows about.
Simply awful and pathetic.
>>341101621
are you 16?
>>341101763
And yet it introduced the ingame shop. It was the start of the downfall.

Theyre misunderstood.
>>341101480
Are you brain dead or something?
massive rewrites, like flying Dalaran. despite the fact that it only became the flying city during WOTLK about 30something years AFTER the events of the movie
Completely rewrote Khadgar, half-orc, Doomhammer
>>341101940
It showed symptoms but it was still the best expansion.
>>341090648
>Why cant we have a good /v/idya movie?
Because it's 2016 and most movie since 2010 has been total shit
It was okay. Orcs were the saving grace, they looked great and as characters they were much better than humans. Garona was shit. King had a stupid helmet but was otherwise okay-ish. I want to murder Kadgar and his preteen pubic hair on face. And Lothar had a shitty romance and a irrelevant son. Horrible. If it was only focused on the Horde side the movie would've been amazing.
The action scenes were nice enough. They nailed the impact of a hammer crushing armors and shit.
>>341102142
LOL
that shit is so minor. who the fuck cares you major nerd. It doesnt fucking change anything hahahaha
>>341099045
They got all that back from McDonalds and similar deals.
>>341102142
>dalaran flying
much cooler than normal dalaran. makes a magic city more magic. not seeing the problem here.

I enjoyed it quite a bit besides a few glaring problems
>Garona hogging half the screentime and MUH LOVE
>ORCS DINDU NUTTIN WUNG, DEY BE HONOR
>Gul'dan becoming a random baby deliverer
I can't think of others, but yeah I liked it overall and a lot of people were right about the story not breaking the lore THAT MUCH. Really, if you bought tickets to see this movie you 100% expected to see lore from the recent retcons and not the generic story from Warcraft 1&2.
>mfw walking out of the movie theaters and kids are talking behind me, "this new story is not faithful to the original titles whatsoever. It's atrocious and I it was a complete waste of time."
>>341101887
>not knowing Ben Foster and Travis Fimmel
Look at the little man go.
>>341101890
>Not even arguing, just throwing shit.
>>341102692
Literally who?
Don't think they are any respectable actors since they are doing videogame flicks.
>>341101887
The only celebrities I recognized were Ben Foster and Glenn Close. I wouldn't consider either of them C list though.
>green girl's green make up was actually CGI
Just how lazy can you be.
>>341102321
>>341102387
Then how did Arthas destroy Dalaran with his ground forces if its a flying city?
>>341102652
>That 60 sec polymorph explanation
>>341103018
More importantly, Draka or Garona, Anon? Bet fullorc fucks good.
>>341103018
>garona's greenness was cgi
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST FUCKING CGI THE REST OF HER, JESUS FUCK SHE WAS THE WORST PART OF THIS MOVIE
>>341103262
What was the explanation?
I laff
>>341102142
Rewriting is normal in every film adaptation.
>>341101621
The CGI was fine, but because every single shot (EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT.) was a green screen stage, it was very obvious that everything was fake, thus breaking the whole point of good CGI.
The writing was hackneyed and stilted. The scene where Lothar comes back from Karazhan to engage the Horde for example. Why? Why do that? The engagement is over. Why does the Horde switch back to being honorable when Gul'Dan had whipped them back in line already? Garona can speak common as well. Fuck off. "There are prisoners, I learned from them." Bitch, seriously? It had been maybe two weeks since the Horde had landed, there is no way that you managed to pick up full fluency in a completely different tongue through immersion. I took formal education in foreign languages for years, and I wish I was half as good as Garona's common.
It was just a bad fucking movie. It was cool to see all the shit from Warcraft lore, don't get me wrong. Seeing Ironforge and Dalaran and Karazhan and seeing Khadgar running around was super cool.
But as a movie, as a stand alone entity, shit sucked. Like, out loud.
It's a good movie just watch it faggot. Rotten Tomatoes is dead wrong this time.
>make real outfits and props
>they look like CGI anyway
>>341103458
There isn't one. Khadgar just says it lasts that long.
>>341103490

>>341102790
so you are 16
>>341103490
You know, Blizzard released it internationally before releasing it to the US which then made it a box office success no matter how much it flopped in the US. So it makes me wonder; how brilliant is Blizzard's marketing dept anyway? How did they forecast knowing it was going to bomb in the US, but China and SEA were going to eat that shit up?
>>341103623
Khadgar is a pretty amazing Mage though.
>>341103419
Fullorcs are great.
>>341104070
In the games sure, but the movie does a pisspoor job of explaining why anyone gives a fuck about Khadgar. Like why does Medivh mention Khadgar taking his place? We know nothing of this mage other than that he dropped out of college.
>>341103623
>>341103458
>It just works with those weak-minded and lasts about a minute.
>Ref to how WC3 polymorph worked with units and heroes.
>>341103495
Maybe to a certain degree but this is too much
Khadgar is a fucking Mary "chosen one" sue run away wonderchild magician chosen by some fucking mystery magical object to enter and get a cheesy "from darkness comes light" mantra. I just wanted to punch the lights out of him and whoever rewrote his character.
half orc becomes a fucking hero rather than the assassin she was.
Doomhammer is demoted to fucking secondary character and his achievements are given away to other characters so they'll be more heroic.
>>341103828
>Implying there will be sequels
Top kek
>>341104905
I remember but there's no explanation for the duration, just the spell itself.
>>341105061
wasn't this planned to be a trilogy?
>>341090648
>Why cant we have a good /v/idya movie?
But we did.

>>341101887
How do you not know Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster and Clancy Brown you fucking pleb?
>>341103518
He had to get Llane? Did you even watch the movie nigga?
Also the explanation for Garona speaking common in the movie was a lie on her part, theres a lore explanation for how she is half orc/human before the opening of the dark portal and it will be explained later on in another movie.
It was a great movie. Look at the imdb rating.
>>341103529
>Using Rotten Tomatoes and not IMDB.
Rotten Tomatoes is a fucking joke. Never understood why people use that shit. Use imdb, that shit is on point 100/100 times.
>>341105061
of course there will be a sequel. the movie was a success. USA is not the only place in the world. get rekt by trump or shillary you fucking retards.
Who was the woman in the cube?
Also why was Dalaran in the sky? I thought it was on the ground until after Archimonde destroyed it.
>>341099250
What a sweet gig. How do I get a job as one of these guys? Just tell em you know how to shitpost?
>>341101763
>Purple is both 4 and 10
>>341101763
thanks doc
>>341106226
Ben foster is the shit.
Garona lying is as stupid as whatever reason Rey had to be so strong in Star Wars. It might make sense later but in the context of the movie both of these situations are retarded. Clarifying it in a sequel is lazy to me.
>>341106687
10 is obviously the single square on the right side in vanilla's timeline you colorblind faggot.
>>341105061
Duncan Jones has stated that he wants to make a Warcraft trilogy.
>>341106687
No Anon, that's light purple. There's a difference.

>Use imdb, that shit is on point 100/100 times.
>>341107037
>Garona lying is as stupid as whatever reason Rey had to be so strong in Star Wars.
I agree. Thought it was retarded aswell until I saw an interview where they explained it.
>>341105615
This movie was actually pretty good, save for how out of nowhere Sonya Blade turns completely useless and gets dragged off by her ponytail three quarters of the way through.
Everyone go watch and give your money so we can get a fucking Arthas movie eventually.
>>341090648
saw it last night. Went in with the lowest expectations ive ever had. brought in a ton of rum to drink while i watched.
better than expected. first half was okay. fell apart pretty hard after the medivh lightning wall scene. just lost track of itself. I dunno maybe that was when i finished the bottle.
Medivh looked like a hippy
Kadghar looked like a little bitchboy.
LLane looks like discount paul giamatti.
Lothar was okay.
why didnt medivh fuck garona?
... A... Am I the only one here who actually wants to see The Culling on the big screen?I hope they pick a really sexy man for Arthas with delicious justice has cum line.
>>341106226
Except thats wrong because in the lore she's half draenei.
>>341107804
Don't tell Blizzard that. It might poke some holes in their movie.
>>341107268
You know that bitch used IMDB when he doesn't even mention who black cube lady was.
>>341107804
She got retconned to half-draenei, originally she was half-orc half-human.
>>341107643
He could have if he didn't imply so heavily that he made her.
>>341107512
>how out of nowhere Sonya Blade turns completely useless
>out of nowhere
Ahuh...
>>341107643
>why didnt medivh fuck garona?
Best rewriting in movie history, this prevented the birth of Med'an in the movie universe
>>341108694
official blizz word is metzan is still canon
>>341108694
Lol you can tell the artist was like fuck bro many muscles can I fit in this bitch
who else /went to the cinema expecting a 3/10 but got a solid 7/10 expierence and is completly content with it/ ?
>>341100003
Almost had quints. So sad.
>>341109072
>giving this lump of shit 7/10
>>341108906
Yeah good thing they removed him from canon.
>>341109312
its like you didnt even grew up with warcraft. get fucked kid
>>341109001
what you never seen a muscle wizard before?
Can someone please tell me why so many people here seem to think that Orcs are literally niggers? They're fucking fantasy creatures. They're Orcs.Not black people.
>>341109072
>7/10
I give it a 6/10 at best and I'm28 years old
We had Riddick, anon.
>>341109001
The art style really changed when the comic stopped revolving around Lo'gosh, Broll and Thighs
>>341109072
Me too.
>>341109072
I torrented a 1080p telecine copy so I didn't have to waste money and feed this bullshit.
Expected a 2/10, received a 4/10 (because of my history with the Warcraft universe) and realize that anyone who isn't into Warcraft will get a 2/10. So I'll sit it at 3/10.
>>341109665
Because /pol/ tries to prey on the dumb underrage that infest most of /v/.
>>341107804
>>341108179
And this move reretcons her (deretcons her?) into being half human again, with Medhiv being implied to be her father. Which is another retcon.
None of this really explains why she's a linguistics master though, because most orcs haven't seen a human before entering Azeroth, so everyone probably assumed she was half Draenei, herself included.
>>341110768
If you listened, Garona said she picked up on Common from prisoners they had captured during the first half. And if you listen more, you'd notice she doesn't speak Common very well, as if it's not her native language, but when she speaks Orcish, we can understand her like we can an above-average English speaker.
Did Antonidas always have the glowy eyes? I always remembered him just looking like your ordinary elderly wizard. Also, Medivh turning into the avatar or Sargeras for a few seconds was pretty cool.
![latest[9].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/w1f6hqo.jpg "latest[9].jpg")
>>341111796
he has glowy eyes in most of his artwork
>>341111206
I did listen. The guy in >>341103518 made the point originally about how that's bullshit.
And from what I remember, none of her common sounded bad enough to justify that, nor would she have picked it up that quickly without spending every waking moment trying to pick it up from the prisoners, based on the short as time period the movie feels like it encompasses.
Which is pretty fucking hard to do when your kept on a fucking chain.
Honestly, all of this can probably be attributed to just how shitty the pacing is.
I never played a single Warcraft game. I also always mistake Warcraft for Warhammer.I loved it and after watching it I'm sad that I didn't have access to the internet in my childhood. I wish I had midschool memories with my guild or something like that. Fuck.
>>341090881
This.
It was pretty nice movie that even my mother liked, when she watched it on TV.
Shame that it didnt sold enough.
>>341111796
Wait, that guy was supposed to be Antonidas?
>>341092057
It's not you sperg.
>>341090881
>tfw no PoP sequel
Disney really should try to relaunch the franchise seeing that it has a lot of potential
>>341114270
For Disney cucks, it didnt sell well enough.
>>341111796
>>341112223
Antonidas did not have it in campaigns, he was the generic Wizard hero model.
>>341109951
Riddick isn't a movie based on a video game ya dingus
I honestly have it an 8/10
I was only bothered by howdurotans death seemed pointless
>>341113406
According to IMDB yeah. Toby Kebbell played as both Durotan and Antonidas.
>>341118543
It was meant to show how shameless Gul'dan to meet his ends.
>>341097592
The movie was shit dude get over it. It was missing any kind of "epic" feeling.
>>341090648
Blame the business model.
To make money on a movie nowadays you have to pander to the international market.
To pander to the international market you have to make your movie thematically simple.
When you make a movie thematically simple so as to appeal to the broadest demographic possible it turns out shit.
This movie has way more problems than just the lore rewriting. Why was khadgar such an annoying bitchboy spic and a shit actor.
>>341120392
Not him, but I'm sure glad you speak for everyone Anon.
